Trump supports nuclear power as it is 'More American' than wind, solar, US official says

WASHINGTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is more willing to support loan guarantees and tax breaks for nuclear power than for wind and solar because it is "more American" than those, the director of the U.S. Energy Dominance Council said on Thursday.

Jarrod Agen, the director of the White House-based council, said that nuclear power is more likely to be made from U.S.-made parts than wind and solar farms. Therefore the administration is more willing to give it financial aid from the U.S. Loan Programs Office and support tax incentives, Agen told an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
